Shishangeni Lodge In Kruger National Park

Incredible stay, halal food on request

Pros: Incredible stay. I went for all inclusive which included 2 game drives per day and 3 meals. The game drives were excellent, and the meals were faultless. I had requested halal food before arriving and they provided halal meat specifically for me.

Excellent location, facility and service, highly recommended

Pros: Location was wonderful, high density of game especially the cats and antelope, elephants and amphibians The food was great. The rangers and game drives were outstanding especially the sunset drives and sundowners. The room was fine, airy and sunny

Cons: The height of the basin, just that much too high to cause discomfort. Should supply a small step to help. The volume of the rangers' radios was too loud, they should consider using ear pods to reduce the sound. Wifi should be available in each room, not just the main lodge building.

Pros: Fantastic lodge, very nice and comfortable. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious.

Basic lodge in an outstanding location within Kruger

Pros: Camp Shawu is all about the dam view from the lodge and decks in front of the rooms, which could never disappoint. Staff were very helpful and friendly, even calling to inform us we had left items in the lounge after we had checked out - an unlabeled item, so amazing they identified us as the owners Game drives were excellent

Cons: Food is plentiful, but could be a little more refined. Room furnishings are beginning to look a little tired and could be refreshed Toilet within the bedroom could be sectioned off more to provide greater privacy

Pros: Perfect location, great Game drives and super efficient and nice Staff. Perfect stay

Pros: The view to the drinking hole was amazing, and what peace and privacy! You could just sit in the porch all day watching animals such as lions, elephants, buffalo and rhinos come to drink (not forgetting a pod of hippos and crocodiles in the pond). The staff was also very friendly and made us feel welcome, even though it seemed that we were the only guests at Camp Shawu at the time. Food was also very good, and room decorations added a nice touch.

Cons: The floor of the room was dusty and the cushions in deck chairs were tattered and worn out, but these could be easily fixed to give it a more luxury feel.

Pros: An excellent safari spot. The drives were magnificent and our guide Wini was super competent. Very nice staff

Very special stay

Pros: The location of the tented camp is wonderful. The beds including pillows were excellent and the staff were wonderful

Cons: Hot water has to be switched on so I was not able to shower during the evening / early morning and the lighting in the tent was beautiful but poor

Great game experience within the Kruger Park. Highly recommend.

Pros: An older camp but definitely made up for it with location, animal sightings, comfort, great food and overall great experience. Would highly recommend, especially if tight on time and want to get to the lodge without driving too long once inside Kruger Park.

Cons: Everything was fine.

Gros manque d’infos sur le camp Shawu

Pros: Le camp Shawu est un endroit extraordinaire coupé du monde avec des tentes incroyables et une vue sur une étendue d’eau où paressent des hippopotames et où viennent parfois boire des éléphants. Le staff est adorable et réagit à la moindre demande et les repas sont bien cuisinés. Le game driver connaît très bien le territoire pour repérer les animaux par tous les temps.

Cons: - Il n’est indiqué nulle part que le camp est à 19 km du site principal où il faut laisser sa voiture. On se retrouve donc complètement bloqués à Shawu. - Contrairement au descriptif général, il n’y a pas de wifi, ni toutes les accommodations mentionnées qui sont sur le site principal de Shinshangeni. Si comme nous, vous subissez deux jours de pluie, vous êtes donc coincés sur place avec rien à faire. - Etant donné l’isolement, si vous choisissez la demi-pension et que vous n’avez pas emmené de courses avec vous, vous vous retrouvez à jeûner le midi. La pension complète étant, selon moi, du gaspillage car les plats sont énormes, il faudrait au moins une offre snacking. - La tente a des toiles vieillissantes qui laissent passer l’air et ne proposent que deux options : un voile ajouré qui laisse passer l’air ou une teinture opaque. Si donc il y a du vent, de la pluie ou qu’il fait froid, vous êtes obligés de tout fermer et vous n’avez plus de vue. -> Nous avons passé un séjour plaisant mais si nous avions eu toutes les informations nécessaires, nous n’aurions peut être pas fait ces choix, particulièrement étant donné le coût. D’ailleurs, je m’étais trompée dans ma réservation et le staff nous a très gentiment offert de rester la nuit qui avait été oubliée mais nous avons préféré partir.
